“I have known Kayleen over the years due to the many seminars we had been involved in, and always loved her style and flair for our industry, her passion resonates right through you. From the initial consultation with Kayleen, I felt complete relief in knowing that I had found a mentor who completely understood where I was coming from and ‘Just had my back!’…. Kayleen’s attention to detail in key areas that I needed help in were brilliant – she didn’t solve the problem for me, she gave ME the tools to do that…So, in future I can continue on with this…”

“Kayleen project managed my Best Expedition in the World from start to finish. Her organisational skills, attention to detail and marketing knowledge allowed me to turn what was just an idea into a highly successful project (on behalf Tourism Queensland) promoting the Great Barrier Reef to the World. Working with international media, celebrities and government organisations is never easy. Kayleen ensured that all were planned for, looked after and took benefit from their involvement in the project.

Would I ever do it again? Only if I had Kayleen at the wheel.
